Fried Mashed Potato Cakes Recipe
I am confident that you will greatly enjoy fried mashed potato cakes, thanks to their few ingredients and quick preparation. The most important trick is to gradually add flour to achieve a thick dough. The dough should neither be too hard nor too soft. For this reason, I recommend shaping the dough with hands that are slightly moistened. Now, let's proceed to the step-by-step recipe to gain a clearer understanding of what I am discussing.
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes
- 1/2 bunch parsley
- 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp. oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
- Peel and chop them into large pieces.
- Then, I boil the chopped potatoes.
- Take the boiled potatoes into a deep bowl and mash them with a fork.
- Add finely chopped parsley, an egg, salt, and pepper and mix.
- Finally, add the flour little by little and knead.
- Put water in a small bowl and wet your hands frequently with this water while kneading.
- Get a slightly soft dough.
- Wet your hands again, shaping the dough into a round to medium-thick flat patties.
- Put the patties on a plate and refrigerate them for 15 minutes.
- Bring a frying pan and preheat it.
- Pour the frying oil into the pan and start heating the oil.
- Add the potato cakes to the heated oil and fry both sides until they brown.
- Be careful not to fry them too much. It is enough for them to turn golden brown.
- That’s all!

Notes
- Frying with sunflower oil will make the potato cakes tastier, but you can fry them in olive oil for a lighter version.
- Place the potato cakes on a towel after frying so the oil drains well.
